# Home assistant add-on: Inadyn


I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

## About

[Inadyn](https://github.com/troglobit/inadyn), or In-a-Dyn, is a small and simple Dynamic DNS, DDNS, client with HTTPS support. Commonly available in many GNU/Linux distributions, used in off the shelf routers and Internet gateways to automate the task of keeping your Internet name in sync with your public¹ IP address. It can also be used in installations with redundant (backup) connections to the Internet.

### Example Configurations

```json
{
  "verify_address": false,
  "fake_address": false,
  "allow_ipv6": true,
  "iface": "eth0",
  "iterations": 0,
  "period": 300,
  "forced_update": 300,
  "secure_ssl": true,
  "providers": [
    {
      "provider": "providerslug",
      "custom_provider": false,
      "username": "yourusername",
      "password": "yourpassword_or_token",
      "ssl": true,
      "hostname": "dynamic-subdomain.example.com",
      "checkip_ssl": false,
      "checkip_server": "api.example.com",
      "checkip_command": "/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet6 addr'",
      "checkip_path": "/",
      "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0",
      "ddns_server": "ddns.example.com",
      "ddns_path": "",
      "append_myip": false
    }
  ]
}
```

You should not fill in all of these, only use what is necessary. A typical example would look like:

```json
{
    {
      "provider": "duckdns",
      "username": "your-token",
      "hostname": "sub.duckdns.org"
    }
}
```

or:

```json
{
  "providers": [
    {
      "provider": "someprovider",
      "username": "username",
      "password": "password",
      "hostname": "your.domain.com"
    }
  ]
}
```

for a custom provider that is not supported by inadyn you can do:

```json
{
  "providers": [
    {
      "provider": "arbitraryname",
      "username": "username",
      "password": "password",
      "hostname": "your.domain.com",
      "ddns_server": "api.cp.easydns.com",
      "ddns_path": "/somescript.php?hostname=%h&myip=%i",
      "custom_provider": true
    }
  ]
}
```

the tokens in ddns_path are outlined in the `inadyn.conf(5)` man page.

### Multiple subdomains with same provider

Related to https://github.com/troglobit/inadyn#example

If you want use this add-on with several subdomains with the same provider, you have to enumerate domains like:

```json
{
  "providers": [
    {
      "hostname": "first.mydomain.dev",
      "provider": "domains.google.com:1",
      "username": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    },
    {
      "hostname": "second.mydomain.dev",
      "provider": "domains.google.com:2",
      "username": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    },
    {
      "hostname": "another.mydomain.dev",
      "provider": "domains.google.com:3",
      "username": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
  ]
}
```
